North America

When connected to the internet, players can purchase the paid downloadable content (DLC), which includes new maps and episodes. The DLC is not required to complete the game, but is geared towards players seeking a deeper game experience.

The DLC episodes can be accessed any time after completing Chapter 4, by venturing to a lone island to the far south of Ylisse, where the mysterious Outrealm Gate is located. Beyond this gate lies Anna–the gate’s keeper and the player’s connection to other-worldly adventures. The available commands in the Outrealm Gate are: Play a Map, Purchase Maps and Exit.

Each episode in the first series typically pits your trained units against the Einherjar–summoned characters from Fire Emblem history (in other words, legacy characters). Upon completion of an episode, you will usually obtain a legacy character with new artwork drawn by a guest artist and sometimes a DLC-exclusive item too.

In case you’re curious, the legacy characters you fight in the DLC episodes can all be obtained via SpotPass (although often with a different class and stats).

*1: $0.00 between 4th February 2013 to 5th March 2013*2: $4.00 between 7th February 2013 to 5th March 2013*3: Available from 21st February 2013 to owners of the Golden Pack

DLC Packs

Exclusive to the North American and European versions, players can purchase packs of DLC maps for a discounted price.

For example, the “Champions Pack” contains all three “Champions of Yore” episodes and costs $6.00, while it would cost $7.50 to purchase the maps separately. The DLC packs may contain episodes yet to be released; players can view unreleased episodes in the Outrealm Gate, but can not play them until they’re released.

Xenologue: The Future Past 3

In this future filled with despair, war reaches its climactic finish. Can you alter the children’s future?

Reward: Glimpse into the futureDifficulty: 5 starPrice: $3.00

This map requires you to fight beside Lucina, Gerome, Severa and Laurent on the battlefield. To prevent powerful enemy reinforcements from appearing, the children fight encamped by the stairs.

This map is a must for those interested in another future where only the children survived.

This map pits you against five consecutive battles. Routing the enemy does not guarantee victory, but instead triggers the arrival of the next enemy force. The enemies here are the strongest you’ll face: powerful beyond limit. The path to victory against such overpowering foes will become clear to the ones who surpass even them. Your strongest soldiers and your ultimate stratagem–this map will require both.

Xenologue: Five-Anna Firefight

Things go bad for Anna and her sisters as they venture out to a lava cave in search of rare ore.

This map requires you to protect five Annas separated from you by a distance. The Annas are weak and cannot withstand many enemy attacks. So you’ll need to plan well to prevent the Annas from being attacked by the enemy. However it won’t be easy, as the enemy has many flying units at their disposal and formidable reinforcements will appear over time

This map is geared towards expert players, pitting them against a floor of dangerous tiles that causes both friends and foes to drop to 1 HP at the start of each turn. How do you fight when everyone is at 1 HP? Do you heal or do you pair up? In any case, it’s definitely not safe fighting at 1 HP all the time, especially when you’re up against “special” enemies.

In the final battle against the Einherjar, Chrom must defeat 50 of the mightiest warriors of light and darkness, led by Eldigan the Lionheart. As you’d expect, all the enemies are at max Level. After completion of the map, Ike joins as a Level 20 Hero.
